Hatred of anyone -- for any reason -- sets the mind and heart on fire, makes the blood boil, and causes the eyes to see red. In short, in case you don't recognize the signposts for the place they describe, be warned: hatred is hell.
Guy Finley
Blogger's note: yet we know for most folk who have experienced grave violation of their person or the loss through murder of a loved one or family member, this journey away from hatred may be a long process...
People just can't skip the necessary stepping stones in order to eventually arrive at the above enlightened state...
we need each other to take those steps...
Sometimes choices come before the feelings...sometimes the full-fledged feelings of compassion may never come yet we will have that knowing that we have chosen rightly...
Each one's experience is unique while there may well be some recognition - some overlap with the experience of others.
